Alison Moyet Artist Snapshot:

After releasing two highly successful albums with ex-Depeche Mode synthesist Vince Clarke (as Yaz, or Yazoo in the U.K.), vocalist Alison Moyet decided to go solo, a move that enabled her to explore a more soulful direction that suited her expressive voice. Her 1983 debut wowed fans and critics, and scored her charting singles in the U.K. and the U.S. Weary of the pop world, Moyet embarked on a tour in 1985 with a jazz band, and commenced a period of intermittent productivity, releasing an eclectic string of albums every few years to mixed reviews and commercial response, allowing her muse, rather than the marketplace, to dictate her direction. In 2001, she expanded her repertoire once again by taking on roles in plays and musicals, in addition to continuing her recording career.

Review

Q (12/00, p.148) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Inspiration to us all..."
Q (7/95, p.146) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...It's lopsided as far as the chart hits go, but the high standard of songwriting seldom falters."
NME (Magazine) (6/3/95, p.50) - 7 (out of 10) - "...Occupying the difficult middle ground between Annie Lennox and Courtney Love, Moyet is your classic torch singer who likes cock fighting....This compilation...has all the singles on it, including the Yazoo ones, in the right order..."

Title Note

Producers include: Pete Glenister, Mark Saunders, E.C. Radcliffe, Yaz, Tony Swain.

This is an anthology of singles by Anglo-French pop-soul singer Alison Moyet.

Limited edition adds bonus live CD.

SINGLES is unusual among Alison Moyet's greatest hits anthologies in that it includes three hits by Yaz, her short-lived duo with Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode and Erasure fame. Those three early-1980s hits are pinnacles of synth pop, particularly the haunting "Only You," the Yaz song closest in sound and feel to the R&B-based adult contemporary pop of Moyet's solo career. Highlights include her powerful solo debut "Invisible" and the lovely "Wishing You Were Here." SINGLES also includes a duet with Ewan MacColl on his standard "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."
